  • It’s sad but a ton of people won’t vote for her just because she’s a woman, and not white. It’s a sad mark of America but that’s just what it is.

    People say that because Hillary and Kamala had zero charisma and policy to the right of the dem voter base, and performed as such.

    AOC might be a little further left than some Dem voters, but she’s still closer to them than whoever runs under an R will be.

    But before Obama won everyone said you had to be full white and just half white, and he absolutely stomped 08 because of charisma and a policy platform a little to the left of the Dem voter base at the time.

    It goes beyond that, there’s a lot of reasons someone like AOC could easily become the next president, the thing is absolutely none of those people have anywhere near the name recognition as AOC.

    They’d have a chance, but no one has as good of a chance as her, and that won’t change before 2028.



  • didnt say musk couldn’t be assassinated or otherwise disposed of. Im responding to the commenter that wanted him homeless and poor.

    Like virtually everything else in life, this is not a binary decision…

    They can literally just fly away.

    They can abandon all their possessions that are stateside and try to flee, and maybe some do. But we’re talking about the type of people medieval dragons were based on, they ain’t running to save themselves over what they’ve hoarded.

    Not to mention they effectively control the minds of the population that would take up arms against them.

    Loads of shit wrong with that statement, but most obviously that only conservatives have guns.

    Tldr:

    You said one thing is possible.

    I said not only is that thing possible, but more extreme things are.

    Logically I don’t understand how I can help you understand this, and that’s the only way I know to explain things, I’m sorry.


  • France used to have kings bro…

    Kings with so much money they not only funded but sent their own seasoned commanders across an ocean for a revolution against their rival just so they couldn’t have it.

    You think a week before the first head came off that the average French citizen believed one day the monarchy would be dissolved?

    Like, none of this is new, we just need to look at it on a timescale measured in centuries and not just since we were old enough to remember.

    The wealthy don’t have to control the government, and they don’t even have to be wealthy if the rest of us don’t want them to be. That’s how modern wealth works, it’s 1’s and 0’s. If the next US government says “that’s mine or your cut off from US banking”. They’re gonna fucking transfer that money, be ause it’s not even the banks to begin with.

    We have an absolute shit ton of options to work with


  • The answer is when enough people get tired of them hoarding everything…

    Gluttony was always greed, and the stories about dragons sleeping on gold were just allegories for people like Elmo.

    We need to stop acting like this is a new problem and we don’t know how to fix it.

    It’s human variation, some people are wired to do anything for as many resources as possible. Which is fine as long as we get them treatment instead of giving them the keys to the planet.

    All we gotta do is stopping letting the wealthy make all the decisions, because they’ll keep deciding that they should have more of the money.
